SAN ANTONIO — A former Austin-area teacher will not have to register as a sex offender after pleading guilty last week to two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student, officials said.

Haeli Wey, 29, agreed to a plea bargain Friday where she will serve 10 years of deferred adjudication probation and must complete 200 hours of community service. She must also have no contact with the two 17-year-old victims, said Nancy Williams with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office.

The probation office is conducting a pre-sentencing investigation to verify she qualifies for probation. Her official sentencing is set for March 10, Williams said.

Williams said the defendant will not have to register as a sex offender.

According to previous reports, one of the victims told police he had sex with Wey about 10 times, with the encounters occurring after the two met in a ministry program in Africa.

When they returned from the trip, the student would sneak out of his house to go to Wey’s home, where they would have sex. The two would also have sex in her car. She also sent him nude and suggestive photos of herself in her underwear, according to previous reports.

This relationship ended after the student learned Wey “went on a hike” with another student she had met at summer camp. She allegedly had sexual contact with the second student during that hike, the previous reports said.
